Final effect
1. Make a draft:
Because it is not wishful thinking, so before painting needs a portrait photo, expression exaggerated vivid best, can arouse your creative desire. Quadrochromatic is a very important step, because it is not realistic, so we can continue to magnify his expression on the basis of exaggerated image, so as to avoid stiff and vigorous, in a bit.
2, the entire image is completed with Photoshop. Create a new panel, the size is arbitrary, because it is the shape of the pen tool to complete the vector map.
3, the entire painting process is done with the pen tool.
4. The whole image is divided into three parts: hair, face, body (the shape of the body is later determined, not to take care of it for the time being). Then start to tick the layer on the top of the draft. To not fully cover the draft, you can turn the transparency of the outlined shapes into translucent.
5, Next we start to the various parts of the painting! First, the correct, first tick the entire shape, and then add small details. For details, this needs to be accumulated and observed at ordinary times.
6, Eyebrow: First whole, then add details, such as pupil, pupil can add the effect of outer glow, look like with the beauty of the pupil, continue to add high light, reflective, so that the eyes more content, the performance of the eyes is particularly important, the soul of the window.
7, mouth: Still large chunks of color, and then add small details. You may feel very rough, not thin enough, this is required to adjust the edge of the painting.
8, Nose: Need to transition where I habitually add a layer mask, and then use the gradient tool to adjust.
9, the nose treatment method with eyebrow and mouth.
10, the face is basically completed, continue to enrich the details bar, high light, reflective, projection all plus, if you do not know where to add, how to add, take out the photos, we divert can be. Also pay attention to male growth beard place color will be blue, this is can enrich the details of the picture.
11, do not look good to wear a blush bar. First, use the Shape tool to hook up a blush shape, then filter-Gaussian blur, and then adjust the pixel or transparency of the radius until you feel natural.
12, always feel the shortcomings of what, ah, the essential weapons, beard. First the basic type of a beard, and then a pinch of add, and then a root added.
13, the painting of hair, the treatment of the hair is relatively simple, there is not much detail, like the treatment of beard.
14, if you want the hair more texture, you can use the gradient tool to deal with, and then add highlights, reflective, such as the effect of the image below.
15, the head is finished.
With the head, we should wear a bit more, and then with a prop. The treatment of the body does not elaborate, all the same. You can also continue to add details to make him more three-dimensional, and add a bit of the scene is better.
